The Unofficial Furman Football Page

All I have heard is August 18th. Anyone know where etc? Fluor Field I suppose since we have the pavilion there?

Does anyone know the place and time on the 18th?

Saturday, August 18, 5:30-7:00pm. Admission cost, $8.00, which includes the Drive game. A $7 upgrade gets you food. For a family of 4, that could cost between $32 and $60. That doesn't include $5- $10 for parking. I remember when it was held on campus and was free, except for food when it was served. We have a great facility on campus and could offer tours of Pearce-Horton. Plus free parking. Can't help but think the cost and inconvenience of Fluor Field will keep some folks away.

My daughter is 2. Does anyone know if we’d have to get her a ticket to Fanfest. She is still free for the Drive games when we go. Thanks!

Free parking at county square. Great exposure in Greenville community to folks that may not ordinarily come to Furman. Believe it or not, driving to Furman could keep some folks away as well.

I tend to agree. I wouldn't want to judge someone's financial situation, but 60 bucks for 4 people to eat, watch baseball and meet the football team/get autographs/free stuff sounds like a pretty awesome and inexpensive Saturday night. Would be certainly more expensive to go out to eat or have to eat at the concessions stand. Plus like Joey F said, it opens the Paladins up to a segment of Greenville's population that might not have any Furman experiences. Win-win.

A visit to the Furman campus is better exposure.

Think you may have missed the point. Furman is a bit out of the way geographically as well as viewed as an elitist “country club” by many every day Greenvillians.
Looks like Furman is making an effort to get in front of people other than the dozen die hard fans like yourself which in turn may increase attendance in the stadium which in turn may increase performance on the field. Which finally may get FU exposures in the local paper. I know you’ll be happy then, right?
I will be at Fluor field supporting the dins!
